Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning-gain Supplement (Preparations) Bill.

Planning-gain Supplement (Preparations) Bill

The right hon. Gentleman speaks about the fundamental awkwardness in terms of devolution. Is not the real issue the conflict between central Government, in this case the Treasury, and local government, in this case in Scotland, in that there is a determination and desire on the part of local authorities to advance development in their locales with a funding stream through section 75 planning gain, and there is a conflict between that sometimes good practice—and sometimes less good—and the demand for more tax revenue in the Treasury coming through the planning gain supplement?
